Frequently Asked Questions

The Sport Scope is a quality, easy to use, and affordable end zone camera system that is used by coaches to safely record their players from heights up to 30 ft. to enhance how they see what is happening on the field in order to better coach their players. End zone cameras are primarily used as a football video camera, but are also great for many other sports that demand great footage of their players, such as, football, soccer, rugby, baseball, and lacrosse.

The Sport Scope is superior to other endzone camera systems on the market for four main reasons: 1) Quality.

This means that each Sport Scope passes a quality management system before it is shipped. 2) Ease of Use.
